Questions?

We are currently testing the 8.1 version of XTRF, which is hosted online by XTRF. When we login to a vendor's portal, the time it takes to access their profile takes a VERY long time (sometimes up to 3 minutes, also having to click 'Wait' for the page to continue to load). We have some companies (not freelancers) who are our vendors. They can handle many language combinations and may have multiple pricing profiles. It seems to take longer in these situations. Is this a common thing for people? Or could it be that we are in the test environment?

When is the update/renovation of the Vendor Portal planned? Will it still be part of 8.n or will we have to wait for 9.n?

So many good ideas on UE and it has to be the most frequented of the three portals because of the amount of VP users (vendors > clients > internal staff).

Some of the most pressing needs from our perspective are:

• VP API access
• Restriction of uploadable file types (both of delivery files and invoices), e.g. RTF or XLIFF for Bilingual and PDF for invoices
• Smart Views options to select displayed columns and default sorting
  
• Option as to where "Add Invoice" button(s) are displayed (currently both on Jobs and Invoice page)
• Control over which messages are displayed on job page (e.g. memoQ delivery instructions)

Hello,

is it posible to display the Weighted wordcount in the Vendor Portal?

Hi team, 

Can vendors check their overall evaluation on Vendor Portal? Is this planned? How could they check their evaluation on Vendor Portal?

BR,

Hi!

It would be very helpful if we could customise the vendor portal to our needs, e.g. we would like certain custom fields to show in the vendor portal. We would also like the option to disable the invoicing space for our suppliers for now.

Is this something  you could look in to?

Many thanks.

We made some entries in the system, but we found out that when we send the PO to the Vendor, the project name is not visible.

The only information they receive is the project ID. Is it possible to include the project title as well in the PO in Vendor'portal?

I'm getting complaints about the usability of the vendor portal on mobile phones. It appears to be difficult to check and accept jobs. 

Is this a common problem? Are there plans to make it more user-friendly?

All I found regarding the VP on smartphone was this old topic, but nothing seems to have come of it: https://xtrf.userecho.com/forums/1-product-development-ideas/topics/14-mobile-app-for-your-vendors/

Hi,

Is there a way to see all pending vendor registrations? We often have vendors who think they have completed their registration on the portal, but when we search for them in XTRF we cannot find them. They only have started registering, but haven't completed the process. They do not realise that until we ask them again to register and they tell us they already did. Then we have to tell them to complete their registration, and they finally appear on XTRF.

Is there a report or something that can show all pending/uncompleted vendor registrations? As of today I have no idea how many tried to register, but failed.

It would be useful to be able to contact them and tell them something went wrong.

Thank you,

Regards,

Laura

Where do you determine for both HP and VP whether the week in the XTRF calendars starts on a Monday or Sunday?

I thought it was the interface language setting that would determine that, which does not hold true for the VP, at least.

Here an example for the VP with German as the interface language (Monday is the typical starting day of the week in German calendars):

Before the last update we can connect to the vendor portal with the same account 2 or 3 people at the same time and work with the projects, now if one user is working with that account and other access the portal with the same account the first person is disconnected.

How can we set the account to accept multi login again?
